Hi folk's

 

This is a 2005 Mondeo ST TDCI that was booked in for a full three day Paintwork Correction Detail, to remove the mass of swirls and scratches robbing the paint finish of its true clarity.

 

Some before shots

After machine work all paintwork was refined and burnished with a 3M blue finishing pad and Megs 205, waxed with Dodo Juice Purple Haze Pro with a final wipedown of Zaino Z8, plastics dressed, windows polished, wheels sealed, and tyres dressed.

 

And the end result on day three, scroll down for direct sun shots just before the delighted owner picked the car up. :)

Cheers for the comments guy's, I really enjoy what I do :)

 

Thats my 2000 Mondeo ST200 in the background, currently hibernating in my garage untill I decide if I'm selling it or not lol.

 

The Paintwork Correction on the Mondeo cost the owner £300, will be £270 for anyone who books before the end of August.
